The Isolated Blurt BDSM Thread

I stepped on one of my toddlers excruciating little caltrops (a tiny, rigid lawnchair) and tore the skin on the bottom of my foot.

It now feels suspiciously reminiscent of that ache left by scars when I used to burn the bottom of one foot, in about the same spot, but the other foot.

Reminiscent is a key word there; it's seems to be having some of the same effect emotionally/ mentally too... I wouldn't call it a flashback precisely, but there is a reason I used to call those burns "my reminders."

(Semi-)Current offerings that do get laughs from me (in no particular order) include: Blue Collar Comedy Tour (yes, I know it's been over for several years; that's why I included the "(Semi-)" starting this paragraph); 2 Broke Girls; The Big Bang Theory; Two and a Half Men (though not as much as with Charlie Sheen); How I Met Your Mother; and to a lesser degree, Mike and Molly, though when I let myself start watching it, it's almost impossible to get up and leave until it's over.

I think network execs would be doing themselves - and the nation - a huge favor if they scheduled more *good* comedies - ones that presume a certain degree of intelligence from the viewers, rather than *lack* of intelligence (e.g., BBT, 2BG) - in the time period from the end of the Christmas offerings until spring has truly hit the Upper Midwest (i.e., May 15th or even a little later).

Consider the postulations above, and the examples provided, and either ratify or dispute the theorem.

And if I got the terminology a little off, forgive me - it's been almost half a century since I took a math class of any kind.

those better be tootsie rolls you're throwing at me!

... but throwing their own feces *back* at them is suddenly "unprofessional."

Are you planning to take up a new hobby?

We call them baby land mines.

Possibly. Though I've certainly got my share of old hobbies lying around, too.

OY. I'm not completely awake yet. My first read of that sentence was "my share of old hubbies lying around." That merited a double-take...

Ever have one of those days when you're pretty sure your body is simply falling apart (SW, you're not eligible for this one)? Yesterday I saw my doc about the laryngitis that has been persisting since the first of the month. He gave me a scrip for some antibiotics and said, "Take 20 of these and call me in the morning." Then he said, "I'm not completely happy with the CT-Scan of the cyst in your brain that they found in December. I want an MRI image of it to know what's wrong with your brain." Just like that. No conditional "might be wrong with" in there at all.

I think he's been talking to my wife. Or posting here. How else would he know there's something wrong with my brain?

And then this morning the chiropractor had to back up in the treatment of my knee because my pain scores went up this week.

Somehow I don't think CinC will have a twigs and berries remedy for this complex of ailments.

Ah, fuck.

Shall we start a brain *thang* support group?

Maybe we should. This thing I have is a type that's generally benign but I guess the doc just wants to be sure. Or maybe he hadn't met his quota of expensive tests ordered this month. Honestly, I kind of hope it's the latter.

What the Zorch?!

Ok first, Huge I'm-sure-it-will-be-OK HUG.

Then, um... *Cracks her knuckles and punctuates each word with neck pop*
Why don't you stop by my office with your twig and berries kneeds and I will SHOW you the new remedies I have been working on in class. The things I can do now to sore leg hinges may just make your patella blush.

*squints and glares at your over crowded headspace*

Thanks for the hug. Actually, the mention of twigs and berries was more about the invitation to get my brain scanned. I doubt if drinking tea is going to be much help on this one.

Would gladly subject my ailing leg hinge to your attention...though I suspect other attentions might be difficult to avoid.

Tea. fixes. EVERYTHING.

Don't argue with me. It does. you just have to drink enough of the good stuff and it will fix EVERYTHING. I mean, it may not CURE you, but everything will still be BETTER *vigorous nodding*

Given the amount of tea I've consumed in the last three weeks for my laryngitis, the only thing that's getting better is my water bill. And by better, I mean it's getting larger due to greatly increased use of a certain porcelain appliance.

I can't say I would call a neti pot an appliance, but okay.

[cfuhrer]

I don't like leaving work to get the baby cuz he's sick. First- cuz he's sick. Second- I've worked with so many people who used it as an excuse to get out of work I'm afraid that's what everyone thinks of me, too. Especially on a friday afternoon after payroll's been handed out.

Our neti pot is a cheap little plastic thing. The appliance in question is in a room by itself, with only other porcelain and tile devices for the most part.

Um. Okay. This is a little alarming. And I'm sure you feel that way, too.

Beaming rays of supreme wordiness to you.

Thanks. Everything I read says these things are benign...right up to the point where they're not. We'll know in a few days, I guess.

Normally, I'd agree, but now I wanna know.... what 'herbs' are you putting in your tea?


MWY - prayed and praying for you. I hope everything is okay.

[KoPilot]

Hubs, you're killing me with this blanket "no roleplay" thing you've got going on. Like, seriously killing me. I get depressed just thinking about it. And I don't think it's all that fair that spending tons of money to dress me up as your favorite pop culture characters doesn't count, but you can't bring yourself to chat RP with me. And I'm not allowed to RP with anyone. And that you used to roleplay with some of your previous girlfriends.

Something's up, because I know you wouldn't be making me feel shitty for no reason, and you need to fix it. Or at least figure out why you keep telling me no and you're not interested even though you would like to be interested. Sometimes I majorly need my fetish itch scratched, and if you refuse to do it for me, then I might actually need to turn elsewhere. -grumble grumble-
